All of these new frameworks look great, but there just isn't a good way to switch from, e.g., Bootstrap to a new one. I've never come across a framework that had any kind of conversion tool or even a guide on how to efficiently switch.
- jmcharnes 7y agoJason McCreary from Laravel Shift made a tool called Tailwind Converter which will convert Bootstrap code to TailwindCSS. It's pretty wild. https://laravelshift.com/convert-bootstrap-to-tailwind-css https://laravelshift.com/convert-bootstrap-to-tailwind-css

- Cthulhu_ 7y agoRight now I don't think CSS frameworks are intended to be a drop-in replacement; each one will also introduce a subtle change in style that you have to work with. In theory you can rebuild your application reusing functional components and only replacing visual ones, but it's still going to be a lot of work. But I think a lot of people wouldn't just replace the CSS framework, they'll rethink the whole UI and everything that goes with it with a big operation like that.
